Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Vol 4 Chapter 4236: Gathering South to offer food as an apology

Tao Yuanming was furious, his black face turned red at this time, even his neck was red, his anger was overflowing, like a big wave, and with his almost roaring voice, he attacked Yu one after another: "I don't believe it, fight I don't believe it even if I die! Xianbei people are predatory by nature, they are born robbers, how can they be afraid of war?!

Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "At the beginning we used tens of thousands of Beifu troops to defeat hundreds of thousands of Qin troops. When Hou Yan was destroyed, Murong De took these soldiers who escaped from death all the way to Nan Yan, and finally settled down. They are very happy to let these people plunder and bully ordinary Han people, but if they really want to risk their lives to confront the Beifu army led by the invincible Liu Yu, how many Yan troops really dare to believe that they can Have the last laugh?

"Everyone has the heart of fearing death and living. Xianbei people like to rob and plunder because they used to live in poor conditions on the grasslands. In many cases, they would lose their jobs if they didn't rob. But even before robbing, you have to evaluate how big the risk is. , if the robbery fails and they will risk their lives, how many people are willing to rob?

"Back to that battle, if they were so confident, the vanguard would have marched straight through Dafan Mountain. Why wait until Murong De arrives, their army is still in the north of the mountain, not in the south?

Tao Yuanming was stunned and speechless, the menacing aura just now was gone. Liu Yu looked at him coldly, saying that he didn't know anything about military affairs, and said: "You are a literati, so it's normal. Many of Murongde's subordinates are Xianbei warriors who have followed Murongchui for many years. They have heard of the battle of Feishui, Wuqiaoze, and the battle of Luoyang, and they know how powerful our Beifu army is.

"They didn't dare to confront me as much as you imagined. The so-called military parade, the army went south, just wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, but if Murong De didn't come, they didn't dare to rob me like they did in Qingzhou Cun Qing Xiang, even dare not quickly pass the Dafan Mountain Road, straight out of Muling Pass.

"I went to Murong De at the time, and I was well prepared. If the Yan army did not pass through Muling Pass, it meant that they had no intention of fighting and were just bluffing. I went to negotiate peace with Murong De on the condition that I ceded the land in the south of Shannan, as an excuse for Ah. As the price of life and apology, at the same time, he offered military rations of millions of stones, so that his teachers could gain something.

"If Murong De does not accept these conditions and insists on fighting, then I will let Ah Shou take his Huaibei song, resist in Shannan first, delay the Yan army's action, and go back to Jiankang to recruit the army, including withdrawing Liu Resolutely recruit troops from the west, and go north to attack Yan first. The Yan army cannot fight in Jiangbei for a long time. As long as Pengcheng is guarded and the key cities of San'a and San'a are guarded, the Yan army will not be driven straight in. They will retreat within ten months. At that time, let Ah Shou lead troops to garrison Muling Pass for a long time and control the Dafan Mountain Road. Even if the Yan army has hundreds of thousands of troops, what can we do?

Tao Yuanming said bitterly: "This is all just your imagination. How can you resist the Yan army's cavalry rushing to fight in Huaibei? Later, the Yan Kingdom sent troops to Huaibei at one time. Wasn't it just to kill and plunder tens of thousands of our soldiers and civilians?

Liu Yu said indifferently: "That's because Nanyan and I signed Hesi for a few years, there was no major conflict between the two sides, and even the matter of fighting grass valleys rarely happened. In addition, Shannan Prefecture County returned to Yan State, and they We can send troops directly from the south of Shanshan, instead of going through the Dafan Mountain Road like this time, so that our people will be scattered in villages outside the city, and we will suffer heavy losses. When I went to see Murongde, all the people in Jiangbei had been evacuated and entered. Among the big cities, several key cities also left enough defenders and food and grass. When the Yan army came, they would find nothing except seeing the empty village. Instead, they would be trapped in this place and be beaten everywhere.

Tao Yuanming frowned: "Aren't you afraid that the Yan army will forcibly attack the city and pull out these big cities of yours?

Liu Yu laughed: "Even if you are a literati, you should not have heard of the art of siege. There are many ex-Xiyan soldiers in the Southern Yan army. They have experienced tens of thousands of troops attacking Luoyang. As long as I heard the tragic past of two or three thousand people beating the **** out of me, as soon as I heard that my Beifu army was defending the city, I would be terrified. If Murong De really had the confidence to take us down, why would he still be negotiating with us? ?”

Tao Yuanming still gritted his teeth and said, "That's just your luck, if it wasn't for the strong threat from the Northern Wei Dynasty, Murong De would not have retreated so easily!

Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "You can see why the Northern Wei Dynasty occupied Hebei and Hebei

After the land of Bingzhou, knowing that Murong De was a confidant, he didn't come to pursue it? Wasn't it because the people in the hometown of Houyan were not convinced by the rule of the Northern Wei Dynasty? Sealing and plundering to supplement the terrible daily consumption of their more than 400,000 troops will inevitably arouse the resistance of the people everywhere. The soldiers returned to the grassland to quell the rebellion and left a small number of troops stationed in the Central Plains. The land of Bingzhou in Hebei was in turmoil for ten years.

"The situation of Murong De going to Qingzhou, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is almost exactly the same. The Han people in Qingzhou regard him as a foreign bandit. Once the suppressing force is not suppressed by their force for the time being, they will join forces. Attacking it is just like when I destroyed Yan this time. As long as I win the battle near the chest, the powerful people from all over the world will rush to join our army and help me destroy Yan. Murong De knows this very well, and it is impossible for him to fight for a long time. Send soldiers and horses to fight in Jiangbei, at the risk of losing the foundation of Qingzhou.

"Even if the battle in Jiangbei goes well, breaking Pengcheng, and occupying the six counties in Jiangbei, that's just another group of people to manage, and more soldiers and horses have to be garrisoned. The land of Jiangbei is food and grass. Insufficient, the land output is extremely low, and it needs to be transported from other places to maintain it. Murong Dexin is unable to develop this place. For him, it is better not to take it. For this place, follow me and Dajin Is it worth it to be an enemy completely?"

Tao Yuanming said bitterly: "Could it be possible to let go of the murder of Murong De so easily? If this can be ignored, then who will obey Murong De's rule in the future?"

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "I have given up Shannanzhou County and paid military rations as compensation. For Murongde, he has already earned back his face. As for wanting to assassinate him, it is not only Ah Shou who does it, he After the establishment of Nanyan, there have been at least a dozen assassinations and rebellions, most of which were committed by his Xianbei people. According to your statement, does he have to wipe out all these tribes before he can take revenge? ?
